I first tried the 375/396 for SS/FA and gave up on it after I "torpedoed" the motor at M.I.R. What I learned (later) could have made the combo much more viable. You may already have this info, but its worth a phone call.

Dave,,, Would you mind if I passed your number to a young man out here who is pondering that exact SS/FA combo? Hes wanted to try Superstock racing for quite some time and is slowly getting his car together and putting the finances aside, for an engine, when possible as he is raising a family too. Thanks for any info, I'd appreciate your input if it could save him some wasted dollars as well as time.

I would get the cam from Bullet, with shubeck or sherman lifters. My guess is they would base the profile (duration) off of a cam used in a heavy 283 auto combo. That is the place to start. Best of luck. Post some pictures when you can.

Went by Tony Janes "Barn" today after work and you just can't describe to someone how many parts and stuff Tony has in those garages, its like a organized kaos and he knows about where everything is, thats really scary. I guess if your a car guy like us we all have about the same thing goin on , he just got a head start on most of us! He's a good guy fun to talk with and a straight shooter doesn't mince words like most old timers they just say what they think right or wrong. Get Tony Janes,Chuck Norton ,Vic Hobbs,and anyone else 70 yrs. or older together in a group and listen to old bench race stories now that is funny and priceless just like these guys!

I sell sometimes and throw away very rarely.

I knew Ron and Val back then. Speed Trends used to be my regular hang out. I was one of the local kids with a car hoping to make it go faster. Not a lot of stuff avalable for a '70 Buick Skylark though. haha!

As I have posted on stock/super stock forum the hp factor on the 1955 265 180 hp engine is wrong 25 hp above the factory rating at 205 makes no sense NHRA needs to let the AHFS system work as we have seen . Any dominate combination gets weight when they show more than 1.20 under this engine was penalized without even being run thats unfair.
